Planet of the apps

We find all the best software for your smartphone. This week: apps for Valentine's Day.

Send eFlowers

59p; iPhone, Touch

Happy Valentine's Day. If that's come as a shock, download Send eFlowers right now and email one of the app's bouquets to your better half - which might just buy you enough time to dash out to the garage and buy the real thing. You can also send virtual arrangements as a multimedia text, adding your own message before closing with those ageless words of love, "Sent from my iPhone".

Candy Valentine Hearts

59p; iPhone, Touch

Emailing a personal Love Heart might be a cheesier choice than an ebouquet - if that's possible - but this is actually the more sophisticated app. You can inscribe your message onto a sweet, set against some attractive backgrounds (you'll need to keep your missive to about 24 characters or less). Save it to your photo library
